Hello Jan, others,


I do find your juvenile
comments about worshipping, changing product names etc just that.


Ah, you must be from the marketing department -- always willing to make 
friends and influence people.


Please, Jan, I'm obviously not, I'm but a simple programmer. And given the
fact that you started out by implying I worshipped Bill Gates, I'll take 
it you

aren't willing to make new friends either.

Website has been modified, product announcement as well.

Can we close the book on this now?

With regards,

Handler?

You may want to look into Handler. I've used it often when I needed to traverse 
very large MyISAM tables. Handler requires no physical sorting of the table 
because it traverses the table using an index. It also ignores any locks on the 
table (which you may or may not like), but the Handler will start traversing 
the table immediately. It will solve problems 1,3 ,4 but not #2 because 
traversing a large table with an index will be slower than if the table was 
already sorted. One nice thing about the Handler is it uses virtually no 
additional memory regardless of table size and very little disk activity 
because there is no sorting. You can run it any time and it won't degrade other 
MySQL processes. I don't think Handler will join tables together; I have used 
it only to traverse a single table.

I saw HANDLER written up, and from MySQL tryed it out, but cannot think of a 
real use for it. Is it for programs, PHP say, that call MySQL server and store 
its output in arrays, ?

RE: Question about testing memcmp()

2012-06-25 Thread Stillman, Benjamin
By recent security breach, do you mean the issue with passwords? If so: 
http://www.dbasquare.com/2012/06/11/a-security-flaw-in-mysql-authentication-is-your-system-vulnerable/

for i in `seq 1 2000`; do mysql -u USERNAME --password=INCORRECTPASSWORD -h 
HOSTNAME ; done

If you get in using that, you're vulnerable.

But as Harald said, why not just update? Always better to be patched and 
up-to-date.

I want to test our memcmp() binaries to see if we have the mysql binaries that 
are impacted by the recent security breach. How do I test it?

Thanks
